Theater game

Theatre games are games and exercises that involve acting or hone an actor's skills. Theatre games are commonly used as warm-up exercises for actors before a rehearsal or performance, or in the development of improvisational theatre. Theatre games are also used in drama therapy as a way of overcoming anxiety: by simulating scenarios that would be fear-inducing in real life, the actor becomes more confident about dealing with it.

Some people who have done extensive work in developing the scope and use of theatre games include:

* Jerzy Grotowski
